He is recovering from a hernia surgery and I had one about a year ago so we discuss what it's like to come back from a major surgery. We also get into:

  • Taking breaks from training
  • Sleep and recovery
  • How to keep your energy levels high and avoid the typical afternoon crash
  • Napping, SLEEP (extensively)
  • UV light exposure throughout the day
  • Optimal workplace productivity (standing desks, getting enough vitamin D, eating lunch outside, be changing positions)
